The Middle Tennessee Chapter of American Society of Military Comptrollers is sponsoring a Prisoner of War and Missing in Action (POW/MIA) Remembrance Day run/walk Sept. 16 as part of the National POW/MIA Recognition Day.

The National POW/MIA Recognition Day begins each year by the President issuing a proclamation commemorating the observances to remind the nation of those Americans who have sacrificed so much for their country. Observances of National POW/MIA Recognition Day are held across the country on military installations, ships at sea, state capitols, schools and veterans' facilities.

The opening ceremonies for POW/MIA Recognition Day at Arnold will be held at 11 a.m.  You are invited to join us at the Administration and Engineering (A&E) building track for our run/walk where the POW/MIA guidon will be carried in honor around the track.

A burger burn fundraiser will be held at 10:30 a.m. - 1 p.m., Sept. 16.
This year, also as a fundraiser, new t-shirt designs will be on sale Aug. 10-28. Look for more t-shirt sales information through email and on the Team AEDC homepage.

All proceeds from the burger burn and t-shirt sales will be donated to a POW/MIA organization so they may continue to accomplish their mission.

For more information call 454-4339.
